Tomcat 4.1 b9, Reload Context with Ant
Hi All,
I am trying to configure Tomcat and Ant so that I can type "ant reload" and
the web application that I am running will be redeployed without restarting
Tomcat. This would really speed up development for me.
The first issue is that I have the context set up with a couple of resources
in the server.xml file. Tomcat will autodeploy (but not start) this app
even without a folder named $tomcat/webapps/myapp or a war file named
$tomcat/webapps/myapp.war. If I remove the context
http://localhost:8080/manager/remove?path=/myapp, and then try to install
the context
http://localhost:8080/manager/reload?path=/myapp&war=file:/mybuild, the
application can't find the resources, the MySQL database pool, or the mail
session.
Is there any way to have the /myapp server.xml resources not be removed from
memory when the context is removed. Or better yet, to have it put back in
memory when you install a context at the path /myapp?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Cameron

Re: Tomcat 4.1 b9, Reload Context with Ant
Posted by Cameron Taggart <ct...@alumni.washington.edu>.
I moved the <context/> that was in server.xml into a file named
C:\Projects\myapp\build\WEB-INF\contextConfigFile.xml. With the cotext tag
I set path="/myapp" and docBase="C:\Projects\myapp\build", but this doesn't
work for me:
http://localhost:8080/manager/install?war=file://C:\Projects\myapp\build\WEB
-INF\contextConfigFile.xml&path=/myapp
The manager application reports that:
OK - Installed application at context path /peoplefinder
But when I go to http://localhost:8080/myapp/ I get:
HTTP Status 404, The requested resource (/myapp/) is not available.
Any ideas? Does anyone else use a context config file? It is new to me.
I liked putting the server specific resources in the server.xml file. Does
the context config file have to be apart of the *.war? Does it matter where
it is? Where can I find more information on context config files?
Thanks a bunch for the lead.

Re: Tomcat 4.1 b9, Reload Context with Ant
Posted by Jacob Kjome <ho...@visi.com>.
What you need to use is a context configuration file. That is, a file with
the root element being <Context ....>. Put all your resources within this
that are needed by the webapp and then use the following:
<install
url="${manager.url}"
username="${manager.username}"
password="${manager.password}"
path="${app.path}"
war="file://${build.home}/WEB-INF/contextConfigFile.xml" />
The contextConfigFile.xml contains a <Context ...> entry with the path and
docRoot for the app.
Just a note. I haven't gotten this to work on Windows even though Craig R.
McClanahan says that it works for him on Unix. However, I haven't tried it
with the latest version 4.1.9.
If you get this to work for you, let me know.
